our week TOGETHER

it's been a GREAT week.
i've only had one meltdown {wow!}

this has been LARGELY due to the fact that pat only went into work 1 day this week...today!


we've had a GREAT week being together...

we DID go back and ride the train :-)

there have been LOTS of lego's and hot wheels strewn all over the floor all the time. i try to be patient with it. but it ALL gets cleaned up each evening.

lots of late night for pat and i - i just love being WITH him! and lots of slow, late mornings {a couple 8 am! wake-ups!}

i haven't run ALL week...taking a "rest" for my body. i am NOT good at resting. but i know it's good for me and my muscles or ligaments or something :-) i HAVE gone for a couple long walks and swam a couple times. it's been good for me mentally, too. to know i can sleep in the morning. but i am READY to get back out there next week!!!

we had the young's over one night - this was the only picture i got. it was so fun!

i got pat the star wars movie set (6 movies i think? i don't know. i've never watched them...) for christmas. so, the older kids and pat have been watching them in the afternoons (they've watched 2). hence the lightsabers came out of hibernation in the basement and have been used everywhere we go! :-)

i can NOT stop kissing levi this week. my love for him is getting deeper.

having EVERYONE home all week leaves little time for me to think or process. that's hard for me...to just go and go. i need time to "recharge" and i don't get it during days like this. i miss pondering and processing. get ready for me to catch up next week :-)

getting geared up for our annual new years party!!! whoo-hoo!
